Dropping a table

Removing a table is a simple matter of using the DROP TABLE command:

DROP TABLE query_test;
Try to avoid frequent drops or creates of a table with the same name. This process has proven to be problematic with Apache Cassandra in the past. If you need to recreate a table, it’s always a good idea to TRUNCATE it before dropping it. It may be helpful to create a table with a version number on the end of it (query_test_v2) to prevent this problem from occurring.
